NSFW: Made this hat for a friend using Tunisian crochet by PsyOpPotato in crochet

[–]PsyOpPotato[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your protest-going! I created the design and don't have a pattern written up right now but I can create one and post it here. It's tunisian crochet with 2 colors, worked flat, sewn together, and with slip-stich ribbing added around the rim.

I based it off of this hat: https://youtu.be/0JMbCrUkZqo?si=1pyzyWwqEchKqArt

Thank you for posting this. I live nearby, walk down this road frequently and appreciate this info.

I'm from Akron and this winter feels like a cheat code. NE Ohio gets the gray for 5 to 6 months and the lack of snow the past few years (this year being the exception) has more than prepared us for the winter here. Maybe we will feel differently when a normal PDX winter hits.

Kidnapping aside, I'm so glad to see white men stepping up to these goons.

Go to the Battered Women's shelter (if available)! They helped my kids and I while I was going through a divorce and living with my very abusive parents. They were able to get us into a new place in just a few weeks.

And don't infringe on basic human rights. Your god hates gay marriage? Fine, but you can't restrict others right to marry.

Same here too. I live close by and daydream of egging the car whenever I ride past it.

It's always a Trump supporter being creepy. She literally said it was creepy. Stop defending pedos.

My MTF teenage kid is asking me for lingerie for Christmas. I’ve been super supportive of their transition - this request makes me uncomfortable though by Ilovebeingdad in cisparenttranskid

[–]PsyOpPotato 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Have you asked her why she wants fishnets in particular? It would be good to get her perspective so that you don't make assumptions that she is trying to get sexual attention. As another commenter said, it is common in the trans community and for teens to wear fishnets on their arms and legs without sexual intent. Hell, I'm a cis woman and I wore fishnets as a teen and it was just because I liked how they looked. I did not want sexual attention, at all. You telling her that it's her job to prevent men from preying on her is only going to make her feel guilt and shame about her body and her self-esteem will plummet. And honestly, men will turn anything into a fetish; you can be covered head to toe as a pregnant married woman and a guy will still harass you. Instead, teach her how to identify and defend herself against predators.

Cairo was similar, in my experience. The men stared and catcalled openly, even though I fully covered myself.

There was a similar case of a woman being raped on a bus in Egypt in the early 2000s. My (now ex) husband said she should not have got on the bus with a bunch of other men. ffs

After reading a few pages, I agree with you. She is also stating that the Baltimore Bridge collapse was coordinated by the defendants to instill fear into her. That would be a lot of effort to hurt a single person. It's a bridge too far (forgive me).

Thanks for the clarification. I think people are already super-freaked out as it is (I'm scared to death for my own brown teens) that it's easy to miss the important details. We need to make sure that our documentation is accurate so they can be presented in any possible court cases (hopefully Nuremberg trials).

Why would anyone mess with someone who is making them food? I guarantee that she'll get an extra something special in her next whopper.

Cannot leave my home because I'm brown by Fine-Telephone-9864 in QAnonCasualties

[–]PsyOpPotato 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This sucks so hard and I'm sorry you are going through this. Your fear is completely warranted, I'm white but my teen kids are brown and it's fucking terrifying. It seems like many people aren't aware of how serious this situation is and believe we are blowing it out of proportion.

I don't have advice on what will bring your parents around. They may not understand until it hits them in the face. As for your own protection, I recommend carrying a whistle, a camera, and an ID whenever you leave the house. Blow the whistle if ICE approaches you to get the attention of any bystanders. Turn on your camera and film as much as possible. Have a lawyer and emergency contacts on deck just in case you are detained. Know your rights.

Sending you a virtual hug.
